<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I’m so glad to hear that things are going so well with Whitley! I definitely wish that Mambo would walk a bit faster at times. I’ve struggled with his slower
pace since we were in training and at times it is so annoying. Recently, as my carpal tunnel worsened, his slow pace was actually causing me a lot of pain. I’d constantly have to adjust my hand and it would bend as he slowed down and I would often over-step
him. But, since the surgery, it has a been a bit better, I’ve much preferred his gentle pull. Although, I’ve been taking it pretty easy and not working him a whole lot.

<p class="MsoNormal">Whitley and I are doing well. She’s settling in quite nicely. I start school a week from tomorrow, so I’m super pumped for that. Whitley, for all her spunk in the beginning, has turned into the calmest little dog ever when out of harness.
Which is incredible given her fast pace and hard pull in harness. She’s super well behaved and I could not have asked for a better dog. Funny enough, I”m going to the doctor today to have my wrist looked at. It’s been bothering me for the past six months or
so, and nothing has worked. Brace, ibuprofen, nothing. So we shall see. It’s my dog wrist as well, so that will be interesting. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I had carpal tunnel surgery last Thursday, so am recuperating from that. It’s been a painful recovery, but I am healing nicely. It was my left hand, which of course is the
dog hand and my dominant hand, so things have been difficult. But, I am able to do more things every day. And I was able to go back to working Mambo after a few days; thankfully, he is a very light puller.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
